Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing just by checking out specs. The visual underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and ZS60.
All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm F500 EXR having a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic ZS60 will show more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F500 EXR will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
